Hello everyone! I just wanted ya'll to meet my old friend, Snake Buddy. He and I go way back (over 8 months). I just learned how to talk like him. I think it goes something like..."sssssssssss!"
This is me by the "Utah Tree". It's a really large concrete sculpture just off the interstate in the middle of nowhere. We saw it on our way to the Bonneville Salt Flats.
We are probably among the very few people who would visit the Salt Flats when they are covered in water. It looked more like a lake than a salty desert!
Just past the Utah Tree and the Bonneville Salt Flats is Wendover. It is right on the border of Nevada and is known for its historic military base. It is the last intact World War II base. This base is where they trained the crew of the Enola Gay (the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima). It is also where they shot scenes for Independence Day and ConAir. (There are a lot of movies filmed all, or in part, in Utah.)
This is me standing near the plane they used in filming ConAir. We got special passes to walk out onto the tarmac and look around.
While we were at the airforce base, we met some nice technicians who let us into one of the hangars. (Usually off limits!) We were able to get up close to some working World War II planes!
We also went to Temple Square in Salt Lake City. (Sorry! We didn't take any photos!) While we were there we took a partial tour of Brigham Young's home - The Beehive House. Because he practiced polygamy (aka plural or celestial marriage), the man had 56 children. I can't even imagine having that many brothers and sisters! About half way through the tour I decided that I had seen enough and loudly expressed - "No!No!No!" We excused ourselves and left. I am much too little to understand religion!
I am what you might call a helper. I love to do what I can to make things easier for others. I will frequently help move piles of dirt that have been swept up on the floor. If necessary I will remove (and eat) any food particles. I will even grab the broom myself and try to help move the pile of stuff around. Mom and Dad really appreciate everything I do to make their lives easier! Now, you might ask how there gets to be so much stuff on the floor in the first place. I am sure that it is in no way my fault. I never spill food on the floor!
